I seldom have time to chat anymore in games … although voice chat does help you get over that a little. Still I often use crafting and exploring time to chat. Sometimes I may login and not move for an hour if a good chat is going on.

It does seem a little harder to form relationships with people online when there is little time, or incentive, to just sit around and talk about things.

— Character is centrality, the impossibility of being displaced or overset. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
